It's Friday and what else would you expect but chatter on the web about The Great British Bake-Off, flip-flops, chocolate and mortgage repayments.
It’s an eclectic mix of news out there, as Footsie eased lower ahead of the US non-farm jobs number later this afternoon.

The combined funds from this placing together with the £12.9mln debt funding, on which advanced talks are taking place, along with the previously reported sale of the group's non-platinum operational assets, will provide the necessary means for the design, construction, commissioning and working capital during the ramp-up phase of the South African projects, it had said.
